I think there might be a 3rd generation already as I saw Reiko wearing yet another pair with 3 almost horizontal stripes which the new adidas models seem to have. Let us know your findings . Have been thinking of ordering but no idea whether they are wide or narrow and they only seem to be released in Japan and perhaps through import in China.
Didn't Reiko used to use the 2E Mizuno Wavecross? That had me thinking these can't be all that wide.

Now that I read it: Sealman should have them but no review/feedback yet ...

In Singapore the white/red model has been discontinued but the white/blue model is still available. I bought a pair which was half size bigger than my usual yonex size. Found the shoes quite cushioned in spite of the hard outsoles. I paid under S$100 which imho is a good buy and its a refreshing change from the usual brands.

They are the "Adizero BD Feather W" (W for Women); these are indeed the ones I was referring to in post #2 as the 3rd generation ones. They seem to have been released around the globe in the mean while. Actually was searching for them as well a few months ago and found them online in shops in Canada, Switzerland, Spain, UK, etc. Size seems to be the same as the older models and on Rakuten is recommended 1 size up compared to normal width (or rather 0.5cm up).

There are the ones Ikeda is wearing now (and I wanted to get; he was still wearing the black ones back then):

Thanks for bumping this thread back up, seeing them again I must have them, even if I can't use them . Alternatively one of the Czech players (Petr Koukal) is using the Adizero CC7 or 3. They are only 289gr. actual weight in one of the YouTube vids, not sure which size though. Listed specs have them at 300gr. (pair on the left is white/orange/black)

@demolidor
Do you want to buy Adizero BD Feather purple in color, the one that is worn by reiko now?

Hahaha , the blue ones (as worn in the vid) that Shintaro Ikeda is wearing at the moment but I already wanted when he was still wearing the black ones ... Only he has black laces in them I've just noticed, no wonder they didn't look as interesting as I pictured. Needs the yellow laces (or perhaps alternatively white ones).

In Europe they are mostly sold at handball stores (online). The vid mistakenly titled "BT" instead of BD for badminton, likewise the CC7/5/3 model's full name is Adizero HB CC7/5/3 with HB for HandBall ...

I think i have a strange taste... I prefer the shoes that worn by Reiko...i like the model, but purple color, make me looks feminine on court...I wish adidas came out with the same model but change the color from mild purple into dark purple or blue...However if i come across that shoe & after wear it, i don't look that feminine.. heck i gonna buy it...

Oh I don't think it is strange taste . It looks very nice as well, will look good with a black outfit, only since it is the women's model it could be even more narrow and also the biggest size is too small (42 or 42.5 I think). SHB101 for ladies (SHB101LX) was also a nice looking colour ...

Looks like I made mistake there (since I couldn't find the stuff I found yesterday ). It should actually be "BT" for some reason outside of Japan whereas in Japan it is named "BD" . Should get you a lot more hits

@demolidor
haha... your post about SHB 101LX reminds me a lot of what i did last year.. I went into badminton shop to give myself a pair of badminton shoes. I was in hard decision to purchase either SHB 101LX or SHB 100LX. The shop lady told me that it is better for a person who want to wear this shoes to try it prior purchase, so ask your friend to try it. She thought i wanted to buy it for a friend of mine, and i said i am the one that wanna wear it, then with a strange face she asked me what size did i need . However, my size was not available for that type of shoes they only have 41 in stock whereas my size is larger than that, it is a pretty sad story but funny in a way
